Troubleshooting

Windbreak will not inflate properly

Ensure the pump connection is secure to the inflation valve and check that the valve itself is fully open. Do not over-inflate; aim for a firm but not rigid structure.

Windbreak is unstable in light wind

Check that the guylines are properly tensioned and pegged securely into the ground. Ensure the windbreak is oriented correctly to face the prevailing wind.

Minor puncture or air leak

Locate the leak (listen for hissing or use soapy water) and use a suitable repair kit for inflatable items. Allow the repair to cure fully before re-inflating.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely easy and fast to set up due to its inflatable nature.
  • Provides effective wind reduction in its immediate vicinity.
  • Lightweight and portable with a included carry bag.
  • Simple to understand and use, even for novice campers.

Cons

  • As a single panel, it offers limited coverage and protection from wind from multiple directions.
  • Requires guylines and a suitable anchor point for maximum stability.
  • Inflatable structure might be susceptible to punctures over time.
  • May not be suitable for very strong or persistent winds without additional support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unpack the windbreak and locate the inflation valve.
  2. Connect a pump (not included) to the valve and inflate until firm. Avoid over-inflation.
  3. Use the included guylines to secure the windbreak. Peg them into the ground at appropriate angles for stability.
  4. Ensure the windbreak is taut and stable before use.

Compatibility:

This windbreak is designed for use on most outdoor surfaces where guylines can be secured, such as grass, sand, or even firm soil. It is compatible with standard camping pegs and pumps.

Care:

  • Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow to dry completely before packing away to prevent mildew.
  • Store in the provided carry bag in a dry place.
  • Regularly inspect for any signs of wear or damage, especially around seams and the inflation valve.
